There's a big contest in progress on our beloved blockchain! By big I mean there are some very substantial prizes, donated by one of STEEM's biggest benefactors and promoters 
Over 100 entries were submitted from Steemians inspired to create a meme about the rise of #NewSteem from the ashes of Old Steem. Now it is up to the community to vote for their favorite, MEme!
The MEme you vote for represents an active, dedicated, and optimistic member of our steem economy. Someone who wants to see STEEM succeed. When STEEM succeeds, we all benefit!
I've been here for two years and a few hard forks. I know people still have misgivings about this one, especially those who were hurt by the last one (or more.) We don't yet know where this one will lead, but as for ME, so far I see only positive signs. Bid bot activity down, trending page is readable, curation rewards up, and I see a few more whales or orcas coming out to play!
The biggest problem with Old Steem was that regular Steemians like you and I have not been determining what gets rewarded. With large stakes delegated to bidbots auto-upvoting the largest payer, it's been hard to feel empowered or rewarded out here in the world of organic interaction. We have a chance to change that, so why not start now by voting for MEmes?
You do not have to limit yourself to just the one best MEme. You can vote all your favorites! Like 8, #8 is a good number. Maybe you'd like to vote for 8.
We all want the best (MEme) to win. 530 Steem Power is enough to make a minnow! For ME, it would double my current holding. I could finally cast a vote above the dust threshold. Imagine what 5300 delegated SP would do!
Even the 80 SP offered for the top 8 entries will be quite a significant impact for MEmes (if selected.) That's why I couldn't pass up this opportunity myself.
I joined in the fun and added a gif of my own!
To support MEmes in this contest, log in to dpoll.io so your vote for MEmes will be counted.
Each creator in this contest is invested here, and we want to grow our stake - build it and use it the way Steem Power is meant to be used, to distribute rewards to our favorite Steem content creators.
So, it's time to support MEmes with your vote! May the best (MEmes) win!
